The World Spins Madly On by Sheepfairy (PG-13)

I was quite distressed to realize that I haven't recommended any hot woman-on woman action so far. Definitely time to rectify that right now!

Fandom: DEEP SPACE NINE
Pairing: Kira/Lupaza
Length: 11k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sheepfairy
Author Website: Planet Fiction

Why this must be read:

The World Spins Madly On is a brilliant exploration of Kira's time in the resistance, and what happened when the Occupation ended. Through a series of vignettes, the author reveals how those years were both the best and worst of times for Kira, and how they indelibly formed her character.

Kira and Lupaza is an unusual pairing, but Sheepfairy makes it feel like canon. The relationship between these two women is multi-layered and poignant, much like Kira's involvement in the resistance itself. While the actual sex between them is a very small component of the story, it's a sensual and funny moment that tells us a great deal about life in the Shakaar cell.

Have a taste:

When Shakaar finally sees fit to send her out on her own to kill a high-level collaborator, she thanks him profusely for trusting her with such an important assignment.

"This isn’t something you should thank him for, Nerys," says Lupaza, worried, and Nerys is hurt that Lupaza seems to have so little faith in her ability to get the job done.

It isn’t until a decade has passed that Nerys realizes that Lupaza wasn’t worried about her abilities; she was worried about the state of her soul.
